My youngest DD is turning 3 on November 12. Why do they have to grow up?

So far, I have picked up a pair of fleece lined croc-type shoes(she loves her summer ones , a set of Dora puzzles, and a set of Melissa &Doug lacing cards. I don't want to get huge toys that she will never play with. My kids actually prefer to play with Little People and action figures.

I'm thinking the Tag Jr. would be good for her. Any thoughts for this age? I would really love some good educational toys. We already have a play kitchen and a wooden dollhouse.

You're going to laugh...my 3 and 5 year olds love pipe cleaners. One pack has lasted us about a year. They decorate the house, make stuff, and play with them constantly.
